I'm keeping a list of annoying cliche's. If you've noticed any new ones, please mention them.
0: In any numeric ranking, there will be a Zero, revealed later, which is invariably the most powerful, and secret.
1: A Villain cannot die until they have gone all out. A Hero can get their ass kicked at 10% power, no problem.
2: A Villain can do anything offscreen until they explain their powers.
3: Once a Villain's weakness has been demonstrated, countering their power becomes easy, even if it logically shouldn't be.
4: All old men are Invincible until their first serious fight. Then they die.
5: Any returning villain is a good guy until proven otherwise.
6: Any returning character with a change of outfit has one free easy victory.
7: If a character looses an arm, this will in no way affect their combat prowess, even when it really should.
8: The more powerful a villain becomes, the easier they are defeated in the end.
9: If a character's clothing is damaged, their power increases relative to the amount of damage.
10: The Main Character can use ultimate techniques that would normally be extremely dangerous to the user repeatedly, because Protagonist.
11: If there is a character with an absurdly powerful technique who isn't a main character, their powers will be underplayed and ignored.
12: The character who claims to be the strongest in his organisation will always be one of the weakest.
13: The longer and louder you shout an attack's name, the more powerful it becomes.
14: The Main character's brother or father will always be extremely powerful.
15: The Main character is obsessed with food. (Credit to Illuminater)
16: Nothing can defeat the power of Nakama!
17: The lazy guy in an evil organisation is invariably the strongest.
18: The pretty villain is always stronger than the ugly villain.
19: If a character with a mask's identity is revealed prior to their unmasking, then they always someone else.
